About the piece

Dated 1645, this oil on panel portrait by the Monogrammist IS is a striking example of Northern European character studies. The work is defined by its meticulous attention to texture—from the soft, voluminous white beard to the heavy, tactile warmth of the fur-trimmed robe and the weathered skin of the sitter.
